Chapter 120: Rizu Kishin

Chapter 120 Rizu Kishin "died?" Immediately, a young Taoist priest from Xianyuan Temple looked at the tree monster in surprise and suspicion and wanted to go over to check it out. "No! Be careful!" The young Taoist priest immediately retreated. as predicted-- The tree demon was subdued by the mountain god's order and could not move. Seeing that his magic power and vitality were being rapidly suppressed, he knew that if he continued like this, he would probably die at the hands of those Taoists. So he immediately ignored everything and released the magic power and death energy that had been stored in his body for many years. It was a column of black smoke rising into the sky. There was still some spiritual fire burning on the tree, but it was immediately extinguished in the black smoke. Under the moonlight, you can clearly see the black smoke rushing straight into the sky, bypassing the spiritual flag formation, and dispersing in all directions. There was also some spillover. "careful!"

Several Taoists from Xianyuan Temple immediately gathered together and stood with Lin Jue and the other two, as well as with the little Taoist priest who had fallen to the ground. Many Taoists worked together to use pure yang spiritual energy to resist the black smoke. It was easy for everyone to resist, but they couldn't help but raise their heads, follow the black smoke, and turn their heads to look behind them. I immediately knew where the black smoke was going. It was distributed to other tree monsters in the mountains! The pear ancestor and the pear tree are of the same origin, so they can accept each other. This is a practice that will damage your own cultivation. But at this moment, a series of rough and strange noises came from the mountains, followed by a rumbling sound, like the friction of branches and leaves in the woods when a hurricane passes, and the entire forest was moving. Many people can imagine what the tree monsters in the woods look like at this moment. There is no need to look far away or wait for them to arrive. Just look outside the spirit flag formation and you will know - the dead tree monsters that were originally blocked outside have all gone crazy, with distorted facial features, black smoke spewing from their mouths, and they are madly crashing and squeezing into the formation. The spiritual flags were shaking and even tilted slightly. "This is bad!" The middle-aged Taoist priest of Xianyuan Temple was a little frightened. "How to do?" The other two young Taoist priests were also frightened. He just saw Lin Jue and his junior sister looking at each other, seeming quite calm, so he looked at each other and forced himself to be calm, not wanting to be weaker than them. "There are two ways now." Lin Jue thought about it and was not panicked. "One is that we break a path and rush out, and then come back tomorrow to deal with these tree monsters. It will be very simple. We can even leave the mountain god token in the old tree. I think even if it doesn't die, it can't run away. We can come back and get rid of it tomorrow morning." "No way!" The young Taoist priest named Yun Yi denied it immediately, "Gong Village is behind this small slope!" "Yes!" the middle-aged Taoist priest also said, "We originally wanted to wait until daytime to deal with them, but unfortunately we can't wait until tomorrow daytime!" "Is this so..." Lin Jue nodded, agreeing with it. He then continued, "Then we can only set fire to the mountain! Most of these tree monsters are dead trees, and they are most afraid of fire. Although there are many trees here, there are no big mountains or forests. Even if we set fire to the mountain, it will not spread too far. It is better than letting monsters wreak havoc."

Setting fire to mountains and digging graves at noon have always been good ways for mortals these days to deal with goblins and ghosts. Often when there are monsters in the mountains, there is no need for Taoist priests or experts. The government can either send out soldiers or invite experienced hunters to eliminate them. If they cannot eliminate them, they will set fire to the mountains, which has always worked. But just then—— A flash of sword appeared in the darkness! The sword light came from whoever it was, probably about ten feet wide and two or three feet high, and it came from far away in the dark night, and instantly reached the front of the spirit flag formation. Almost all the tree monsters along the way were crushed into broken branches and leaves. It seems like someone else is coming? Everyone looked at each other. Among the broken branches and leaves, more tree demons were gathering there madly. All I saw were dead tree spirits crowding together, many branches colliding and waving, and there were rough and strange roars. There was a faint silver light and gun light coming from inside, and occasionally a few flickering and indistinct silhouettes of armored soldiers could be seen among the branches and leaves. Like a warrior? But in this day and age, where can such a warrior be found in the world? But then I heard a distant shout: "Daoyou, we are here to help you!" “It’s the Talisman Sect!” After all, the middle-aged Taoist priest is more knowledgeable and experienced. Sure enough, a figure soon appeared from that side and rushed into the spirit flag formation. It was the Taoist from Mount Qiyun. Among them, Lin Jue saw Taoist Jiang, Taoist Qingxuan, two middle-aged Taoists, and then two shivering villagers, and several horses carrying corpses. But there were only these few people, and the Taoist was holding only ordinary wooden swords, iron swords and dustpans. I don't know where the sword light and the subsequent gun shadow came from. "Brother Qingxuan!" Lin Jue and the other man hurried forward to greet them. "Huh? Fellow Daoist Lin! Fellow Daoist Qingyao! Are these... fellow Daoists from Xianyuan Temple?" Taoist Priest Qingxuan came over first, deeply moved, "You really came down the mountain to eliminate the monster! Thank you very much!" "As it should be." "Fellow Daoists, setting fire to the mountain is certainly a good idea, but the pear trees here have been planted for many years, which is not easy. They are not only the livelihood of the local people, but also one of the foundations of the prosperity of this place. After all, only a few have become spirits and are contaminated by evil spirits. We happen to have a talisman, so let's save this spiritual fire for you." Taoist Priest Jiang came over holding a silver sword: "Leave it to us!" "Please." Lin Jue was naturally happy to save his magic power and just see what they would do. Although the spirit flag formation could still hold on at this time, the old tree demon was constantly dividing its magic power to summon tree demons. Taoist Jiang Ning took out a golden talisman, threw it casually, and pointed the long sword. The long sword pierced the talisman folded into a triangle on the sword, and she whispered a spell to pray to God. After a few words, the talisman paper began to burn. Then he slashed out with a sword. "call……" A golden divine fire, like a crescent moon, rushed straight into the darkness.

A few feet away from the sword, the flame was several feet wide. By the time it came out of the spirit flag formation and hit the group of tree monsters, it was already more than ten feet wide, almost covering all the tree monsters in front. Bang! The tree demon's body seemed to be covered with kerosene, and a large area of ​​it caught fire all of a sudden. Lin Jue was about to say, isn't this still using fire? But when he took a closer look, he saw that the fire seemed a little weak. Wherever the flames passed, except for the tree monsters, no grass or tree was affected at all. Even when the spiritual flag formation where they were was filled with blazing flames on all sides, they could not feel even a trace of heat. Only the tree monsters were struggling and wailing in the flames and were quickly burned to death. "This is Lihuo, a fire that only the righteous gods in heaven practice. It is extremely powerful, but it only burns demons and evil spirits, leaving ordinary things on earth unharmed." As if seeing his confusion, Taoist Master Jiang Ning explained to him, "That is why it is difficult to use it in battles between practitioners or gods." "This is the divine fire." Lin Jue praised and then turned around. A middle-aged Taoist priest looked at the old tree monster in the middle. Seeing that it was still alive, he took out a piece of talisman from his arms, chanted a spell, and threw it at the tree monster in front. "boom!" A bolt of lightning fell from the night sky and hit the tree monster. The tree demon trembled all over, and its trunk was split by thunder, revealing glowing red cracks and white smoke rising, but its life force was still not cut off. The middle-aged Taoist priest was about to take out the second card when he was stopped by Taoist priest Jiang Ning behind him. "Uncle Chongqing, please save a few talismans. Since you Taoists can beat it like this, it will be easy to get rid of it." "it is good!" When the middle-aged Taoist priest heard this, he took back the talisman. Lin Jue walked up to the tree monster with a sword in hand, and seeing that it was already dying, he stretched out his hand and chanted a spell, took back the mountain god token, and smashed it at the tree monster again, completely breaking the dry and brittle trunk. "what?" However, the tree monster was lifeless, with marks of lightning and burns all over its body. It was emitting black smoke and even flashing flames, but the wood in the middle of the trunk was fresh and full of vitality, obviously different from the outside. Even the wood inside and outside is layered. Lin Jue was surprised for a moment, then he remembered. Although this tree monster has entered the evil way, it has finally attained enlightenment and practiced for many years. According to what the third senior brother said, this kind of plant has long been extraordinary. Even if it is just an ordinary tree, after being cultivated to this level, it is not inferior to the rare woods found in those natural treasures. It is also a good material for making bean soldiers. Especially when plants and trees become spirits, they will become like humans and animals, with five senses and a heart. The five senses are used to perceive the world, while the heart is used to think and preserve the Tao. This is probably Mu Xin? So he decisively picked up his sword and went to get it. The junior sister didn't know what he was doing, but seeing her senior brother busying himself, how could she not help? Even the fox came to help, digging around with its claws. The two men and the fox quickly took out a piece of wood heart. It was about as thick as my junior sister's wrist, and about the same length as her height. It had a mysterious aura and traces of lightning strikes.

This is of great use to the Lingfa School. When Lin Jue turned around, the flames outside had already been extinguished, and all the tree monsters had turned into ashes. Only the mountains, rivers, and plants remained. The Taoist priests of Xianyuan Temple were talking with the Taoist priests of Qiyun Mountain. Lin Jue took the wooden heart back and first gave it to the Taoist friends in Xianyuan Temple. They were naturally embarrassed to accept it, and both sides pushed and refused for a while. Lin Jue forcefully cut it into two parts, one long and one short. He gave the long one to the Taoist friends in Xianyuan Temple and kept the short one for himself. This was how the distribution was completed. "This fellow Taoist..." Lin Jue looked down at the little Taoist priest on the ground and found that he had forgotten his name, but it did not stop him from worrying about him: "I fed him a life-saving pill made by my senior brother. Although it can save his life, if he is not treated quickly, it will become a terminal illness. He must be treated as soon as possible." "We are planning to send him back overnight." "You can send it to my Fuqiu Temple. My fifth senior brother stays in the temple and is good at medical treatment." “This is known.” "Then be careful along the way!" Lin Jue took the newly acquired tree demon Mu Xin in his hand, and first said to the middle-aged Taoist priest, and then saluted to the remaining two young Taoist priests: "Be careful on your way." The junior sister followed him in bowing and talking. "Brother, please be careful!" Taoist Yun Yi also returned the greetings to them. Several Taoists retrieved the four-cornered spiritual flags, found mules, and returned to Yishan at night. Soon, only the two people and the fox from Fuqiu Temple, several Taoists from Qiyun Mountain, and several corpses of two villagers were left in the mountain. Lin Jue roughly guessed that in addition to going to Fuqiu Temple in Yishan to invite them, the people here probably also went to Xuantian Temple in Qiyun Mountain to invite people, so he invited them. But where did this corpse come from? (End of this chapter)
